How can I be confident of quality?
We use an accredited ITC tutor who delivers these courses nationally.
Each of the two units is normally delivered per day making this a two-day course.
In responding to your needs this can also be delivered in combination of two- or three-hour twilight sessions, midweek or weekend courses.
The minimum time training is 12 hours. The maximum time to deliver is over six weeks if one twilight session is run per week.
The practical training is interactive and hands on. You will receive an ITC course booklet, which acts as a portfolio log book which must be maintained.
Both units have to be passed and this is through practical assessment of performance.
